How to Induce an Out of Body Experience -                                   A Practical Guide to Astral Projection

Inducing an Out of Body Experience is Easier Than You Think!

The self-induced Out of Body Experience, (known variously as OBE, OoBE, Astral Projection, Soul Travel, Etheric Projection and Astral Travel) has been the cause of much interest for many years.  A lot of what has been written in the past has been very theory-based, with less information about how to get results.

Although it takes some time and discipline to learn to project outside your body at will, you will have already learnt to do many things that are much more difficult.  Think about when you have learnt any new skill, for instance, to play a musical instrument, or to drive a car, or to draw, or to use a computer.  Remember how difficult it seemed at first, and then how it "clicked", and things started to come together.

The same is true of the technique for inducing an Out of Body Experience.  At first, you will probably find it difficult, unnatural and frustrating.  But absolutely anyone is capable of astral projection.  It is true that some people show a little more aptitude for Out of Body Experiences, but if you are capable of entering a trance state, and everyone I've ever met is, then you can do it!

If you have ever found yourself totally engrossed in a film or a book, and lost track of everything that was going on around you, then you have been in a trance state suitable for astral projection.  Similarly, if you have been driving or walking home, in a world of your own, when you reached your destination and wondered how you got there, as you've no memory of the journey, then you have been in a trance. In fact, you probably find yourself in a trance-state several times each day.

In other words, you WILL be able to induce an Out of Body Experience!

The problem is that there is a lot of conflicting advice about the best technique for achieving results.  We hope to clarify the methods for having Out of Body Experiences, while dispelling some of the common myths and misconceptions.  It is also our intention to disassociate Astral Projection from any Occult or New Age world-view.
